Details about The Source, a food emporium slated to open in the River North neighborhood in June, are beginning to emerge.

Steve Scott, a baker whose moist, crusty, and addictive French breads have captivated Boulderites, is leaving the college town for Denver, where he will open Babette’s, a bakery in The Source. Babette’s, which will sell breads, brioche, croissants and a handful of sandwiches, will probably be the most open-to-the-public bakery Denver has ever seen – Scott envisions patrons standing just feet from the bakers and their machines.

“I want this to feel like we are baking for that one single person, like it’s someone’s home,” said Scott, a former professional cyclist who has been baking for 17 years. “My philosophy is you need to see the baker baking. I view this as building community around the bakery.”

Scott also hopes to hire a pastry chef, and build a pastry program around the chef.
